How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

“My goodness, Cedric, I didn’t just teach these people one thing, but three!”

Leticia turned her head, still smiling.

“You should take responsibility for this matter. I also plan to investigate various secrets hidden in the Mage Tower.”

“…!”

“Is that alright? Or, ah, maybe next time…”

Leticia touched her chin and smirked.

“Shall we invite both of our fathers? You mentioned something about a halo earlier, so why not get a proper spotlight since it came up?”

Cedric nodded.

“That sounds fine. Both of them will arrive within an hour.”

“Oh, how fortunate!”

The Duke and the king as fathers?

The elders’ mouths dropped open.

“That, that’s too much…”

“Right?”

Leticia smiled mischievously.

“It would be less painful to settle it from my end, wouldn’t it?”

Leticia whispered.

The council members clenched their teeth and nodded.

“Cedric, many are concerned about our love story. Want to have a romantic date that’s uniquely us?”

“Leticia, would you like to pull an all-nighter with me tonight to find out the Mage Tower’s weaknesses?”

“That sounds perfect. I love it when I discover tax evasion evidence. Let’s see who finds the traces of illegal activities first!”

“The one who first gathers evidence for a hearing wins.”

“Sounds good.”

“I’m looking forward to who can arrest how many by tomorrow morning. I’ll provide the handcuffs.”

“It sounds romantic as I hear it!”

Hearing their conversation, the council members felt flabbergasted.

‘The next ruler of this country is terrifying…’

That was the rapidly aging thought they had.

‘They are a match made in hell.’

Literally a crazy pair, a devilish couple from the otherworld.

Soon, the inquisitors began to move busily.

‘No!’

‘The illegal drugs I left in my office!’

‘I have to protect the secret bookshelf!’

People from the Mage Tower began to run like headless chickens to mitigate any damage.

“Anyone caught destroying evidence illegally will be whipped on the spot.”

Hearing Cedric’s angelic voice, their pace slowed.

Later, seeing Leticia generously offering Cedric’s whip as the council advised, they gave up on everything.

A few months had passed since the situation in the capital was resolved. As always, I woke up in my bed at the mansion.

‘When did I escape…?’

I often remembered the events I experienced when I was kidnapped to Siebel’s castle.

I quickly returned to my daily life, but that didn’t mean I was completely fine.

‘Why do I keep having weird dreams?’

My strange power.

The psychometric ability to read the past, as the goddess mentioned. That ability naturally faded as I grew up.

Why do kids have stronger divine power? Because kids are purer, and so are deities.>

That was Marianne’s clear explanation.

So, losing a talent related to the God is common.

‘And slowly, the dreams of my past faded away…’

But I keep having strange dreams.

‘Dreams about my past life.’

Though I don’t know why, I dream about reading , the original novel of this world, or about the day I died in my past life.

Sometimes, my head gets messed up, and I dream of flying over the capital as a gust of wind, or dreams that mix my past and present life.

‘I even dreamt of seeing a monster in my past life’s hospital room.’

Well, at this point, it seems like just a nonsensical dream.

‘And… that dream, the one I don’t even want to think about.’

Even in a dream, the thought of me doing that… it was uncomfortable. That dream I’m scared to even think might recur.

‘I don’t know, it’s probably just a nonsense dream.’

Is this nightmare because of Siebel’s death?

‘Ugh, let’s forget about it.’

I stretched out.
